For generations most of them have hung upon the walls of museums of Europe ami have been an Inspiration not only to lovers of art, lut to nil Christians as well who have studied and admired the conception of the artist and the manner In which that conception has lt en portrayed on the canvas. RUBENS. On of the worhfs most noted paintings showing Christ on the Cross Is liy I'eter Faul Ruhens. It has but tin one figure the dying Christ, hanging on the cross. The la-k-ground Is dark, the sky lolnjc almost ?1 ick. which brings out more fully the real beauty and richness of the work. The head of Christ has fallen against the right arm and a peaceful expression is on the face, showing that the ;so:iy has parsed."

the canvas Is in the face of Christ, and it lias never been excelled In its sweet, spirituelle portrayal. The painting hangs in the National gallery at Dresden. Purer was hofn at Nuremburg In 1171. At an early age he displayed great talent in drawing and in 14SÖ his Tather apprenticed him to the great painter Wohlgemuth, with whom he studied several years. Later he studied in Venice and traveled to all the art centers, where he made friends with the most noted men of Ids time, being particularly friendly with Martin Luther. His coloring
is faultless and the faces, especially 1 In his religious pictures, are regarded as almost sublime in their dignity. Hi? was a man of great piety and In sympathy with the reformation movement. He died In l.VJS. FRA ANGELICO DA FIESOLE. Still . another Christ on the Cross stands out In the art world that canves by Fra Anqellco da Flesole, a circular picture, which hangs in tin Academy nt Florence. Ills Christ on the Cross is considered by art connoisseurs as one of his best. It contains three figures, the Christ on the Cross, the Virgin and In Remembrance of Victory Over Death fi V:''"; , V t V r p' Yc ar- messengers from Heaven, Frcm the Father to the Son, A reminder, down the ages, Of the Victory He won. the Mairdalon.

the crown of thorns. The clear cut nose, delicate mouth and lowered eyes portray a pathos and spirituality rarely found on canvas. The background is dark brown, while the robe Is n rich red. The painting hangs in theFrado gallery at Mudrid. Murillo was born in Seville in lfl7, and although a poor hoy became the chief master of the School of Seville. His early life was a struggle and it was not until after he: married a lady of wealth that he was able to carry out his work to perfection. He painted many religious pictures, especially madonnas and scenes of the crucl-
llxion Ile died in 10S2. 50LARI0.. Fcce Homo (Heboid the Alan) by Andrea Solario, presents an entirely different conception of Christ. A bleeding head crowned with thorfis is against a black background. The red robe; has fallen from oue shoulder, leaving the arm and part of the chest nude. The hands are tied together, one holding a long thin pointed stick. The face is almost stern with Its tightly drawn mouth. The eyes are lowered and there Is a tear drop falling from the left one. Indeed so remarkable Is this painted tear drop that people stand fascinated before the picture, some of them declaring it is a real tear. The face shows the Man in deep thought. The picture is In the gallery at Milan and Is by far the most striking of the entire collection. Andrea Solario, who is responsible for the work, was a painter of Milan, born in H0. lie studied in Venice for a time and on his return to MUau fell under the inlluence of Leonardo da Vinci and was sent hy the latter to complete some of the former's work for Cardinal d'Amboise. His -vork was so like that of da Vinci, both In drawing and coloring, that it is some times dilhcult to tell it apart. Kcce Homo, his masterpiece, was painted in lölo, shortly before his death.

IN SUMMER SILKJ
Fabric Likely to Show Patterned and Brocarif.d Stvtes. Much cf the Matertal is Woven in America, But French Ideas Influence Styles., Most of the silks you and I wear in summer time, observes :i fashion writer, are woven rlht here In Amer ica and indeed no Trench looms produce more beautiful fabrics than some of the American silks. But French silk patterns inlluence world styles to a great extent and because the new silks In Tan's are mostly patterned .silks, the summer silks of America this year are likely to show patterned or brocaded designs. .If there is not a decided pattern, the silk weave is likely to ive a contrast of light and shade that makes a sort of pattern of its own. Paris always gives fanciful names to new fabrics and some of the names not all get to this country. Some do not because they are too hard to pronounce. Anybody can say crepe de chine and peau de sole now, and some tongues can even curl around drap de seile and faille which is quite different in sound from the way it looks. Hut how about Kblouissante." a new glace silk Just now the rage in Paris, or "Damas Matiresque," a handsome , brocade in metal and colored breads? We shall all be getting these names off as glibly as peau de cygne. per- j li.'d'S, by another season. Isis crepes have Egyptian and Persian pattern designs in color, on a soft, j neutral crepe ground, and almost all tin; new Taris crepes and chiffons have Syrian, Persian or Kgyptian patterns. Sometimes the pattern is so closely spaced as to give a blurred, shadowy effect. Sometimes the design is quite distinct, as for instance black chiffon printed in small bright-eolore'd patterns. Shall we be wearing foulards next August? Most women want to know that. There are a few foulards among the new Paris silks and they have geometric patterns. One navy blue foulard has irregular checks in white and a zigzrg over-line in scarlet. Shantungs will be very smart and mr)iiy of them have big, splashing patterns in color the very brightest colors SEEN AT THE FASHION SHOW i 5 y-fs. : ': If'i v.-v:-VT- . tJ J .V. A . V. . . 4.

Ropes of pearl complete the outfit. being blended together. Glace taffeta. are shown in profusion for afternoon and evening wear.

If you do not already have a hiit collar in your winter wardrohe you j h:id better put one there, ffr Tari and America are heilig swept off their feet by the vogue for the "chokercellar."

The modes of this new collar are many, and each of them is very be coming. There are mannish collar with perky how ties, high fur collars in "soup-bowl" effect, collars topped with monkey fur, and many, many others. One fashionable designer achieves a very smart effect by utig a wide black velvet ribbon above a Nhite satin afternoon frock. The ribbon i caught at the back of the neck by a single rovo and then allowed to fall almost to the hem of the frock. Spring Fashions. Plaited skirts are a feature of many youthful spring suits not straight plaited, but group or cluster plaited. Princess lines for dresses still p'Tsist and are noted n dres-os for !oth sticet and house wear.
